Super belated May the Fourth art, this year is a little painting from Empire Strikes Back. I'm thinking it might be nice to paint Luke on the opposite page, I just haven't thought enough about how to do it. Overall, I realised how much I miss drawing star wars and what an influence it has on me visually...
My dark pink gouache tube Exploded during the making of this painting, I salvaged as much as I could in a pill bottle ;;

Echo Base was a military installation built by the Rebel Alliance on Hoth, an ice world in the Outer Rim. A feat of engineering, the base took two years to construct in preexisting caves. Large enough to house a significant Rebel force, Echo Base was the Rebellion’s sanctuary following the evacuation of Yavin IV.

One of my favorite things in Star Wars is Han isn't insulted by Leia calling him stuck up, half witted, or a nerf herder, it's scruffy looking. He doesn't get insulted by being called stupid, uptight or a cattle herder, he gets insulted by being called unkempt.

May the 4th be with you!
A bit different from my usual style of content but I figured out how to use Blender to place a few 3D models for references. I’m super happy how it came out. Not sure how visible it is in Tumblr but I’ve tried to keep it all loose and speedy without excessive motion blur.

In A New Hope, Han Solo is Captain of the Millennium Falcon, while Luke Skywalker is a new recruit into the Rebellion. The both of them have a hand in destroying the Death Star, and are regarded as heroes.
In The Empire Strikes Back, three years later, Han is still a Captain, while Luke is referred to as “Commander Skywalker”.
A captain is of higher rank than a commander. Despite being the one to destroy the Death Star, Han still outranks Luke.
I like to think he brings it up often.

The Battle of Hoth was a conflict on the Outer Rim world between the Rebellion and Empire. After the discovery of Echo Base by a Viper probot, the Imperial Death Squadron, led by Darth Vader, launched a ground invasion to destroy the Rebel’s planetary shield. The battle was one of the worst large-scale defeats the Rebellion suffered, enough so that the Emperor mentioned it in a speech shortly after, telling the galaxy to expect an end to the war.
